Why the Citadelle?

"Then Jesus came to them and said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:18-20

Located on the highest mountain in Haiti is a fortress built in 1817, called the Citadelle. This fortress was erected by a Haitian King in an effort to protect the country from Napoleon trying to take the country back, after Haiti won independence in 1804. Global Vision Citadelle Ministries is establishing its work to further the gospel in Haiti near the base of this mountain that is now only a symbol of a hope for Haiti having a secure future. The Citadelle represents the highest aspirations of the Haitian people.

GVCM wants to connect with the Haitian people's highest aspirations through the gospel of Jesus Christ, with the Lord's promise that when the gospel is obeyed, and the Church established in the hearts of a people, that 'the gates of hell will not prevail.'

Yves Prophete and Yvon Selin have a dream to continue to bring the gospel of Jesus to Haiti through a partnership ministry to plant churches, churches that meet the eternal need for salvation, and the daily needs for education, good water and food, and medical needs. The 'Citadelle' ministry represents the desire to have Christ become the high point of Haitian life, as Lord and Savior, and to reach to the deepest valleys with the gospel transforming lives and giving Haiti true independence, from sin and satan's power.
